State Park Information
State Park Overview
Established in 1922 and named after Friend W. Richardson, the 25th governor of California, the park is bisected by Hwy. 101 and the south fork of the Eel River. Camping, hiking, swimming and
just relaxing are popular activities throughout much of the year. Fishing for salmon and steelhead is popular during the winter.
Richardson Grove State Park is where you first encounter significant old growth redwood forest when coming north. The 9th tallest coast redwood - fallen tree ring study conducted in 1933 and
a walk-through tree are immediately available.
